Therapists in R3G

Are you facing a crisis in your life or discouraged by longer term difficulties? You need more than a sympathetic ear. I do provide that along with the warm empathic concern you're looking for. It is combined with a wealth of professional training and experience. After 20 years as a registered psychologist in private practice, I have successfully helped many people like you in overcoming obstacles that have blocked them from enjoying life and achieving their goals. By looking at past self-defeating thinking and behavior, I'll focus on helping you feel better and more positive about yourself.

Does this sound familiar…Is this you? You're a go getter who moves at a fast pace! You have incredible drive, but have a hard time slowing down. Your mind is always on repeat. You suffer from anxiety in your daily life, work and relationships. You're always putting other people's needs first - You come in last place! You're always concerned about judgement and have a difficult time standing up for yourself and communicating in your relationships. You don’t feel heard or supported. If this is your story, I can help you!

**ONLINE AND PHONE SESSIONS AVAILABLE**Working from an attachment perspective, I believe our past and present relationships are significant. In our sessions, we will explore the difficult experiences from the past and learn about their effects on day-to-day life. Through this process, many clients come to see themselves and their relationships in a new light, which makes all the difference.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist I have had the pleasure of working with individual, couples, and families with many different issues. I have worked within the counseling field for the last 15 years for various organizations. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them to develop awareness of unhelpful patterns that contribute to their struggles and develop coping tools to improve their day to day lives.

I offer counselling through reflective conversation, information sharing and guidance, I will provide you with the tools for change using brief interventions, solution focussed EMDR and motivational interviewing strategies. Tools can include: action plans, journaling, meditation, mindfulness practice, and breathwork to gain direction, insight, and self care. My approach may provide you with momentum and energy to seek clarity and vision your life differently.

My goal is to foster a supportive and inclusive space to build a collaborative therapeutic relationship where together we can explore the issues you wish to consult about . Some of life's challenges can create dominant stories that can overshadow other, more preferred stories in life. Therapy is a place to explore the whole of who you are, where you come from and how life's challenges are constructed and impact life. I believe that exploring power relations and social justice are appropriate conversations in the therapy room. I draw upon trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, social-spiritual and anti-colonial frameworks.

We all experience difficult events in our lives. Some of these events happened a long time ago, and have influenced the way that we interact with ourselves and the world. Some of these events are more recent and throw us off the course we were on. We can become stuck in ways of being that are no longer helpful to us end up causing distress. I believe therapy can be a helpful way to process what has or is happening in our lives and encourage healthy adaptation and growth, so we can live our lives with more peace, happiness and connection.

Hello and thank you for visiting my page! I specialize in working with unresolved trauma. This can manifest in various ways. Some symptoms include: difficulties with mood, anxiety, relationship issues, shame, numbness & dissociation, feeling lost or overwhelmed, issues with sleep as well as physical symptoms. For over a decade I have worked with clients to understand how their past experiences have and are impacting their life. Together, we work to bring connection, care and healing to the inner parts & places that hold past hurts & trauma. My work is aimed at helping your whole system process, release and move forward safely.

My name is Laura Lockwood. I am a clinical social worker and therapist for teenage girls and women. Throughout my experience walking alongside women, I've come to recognize that women face additional barriers and expectations that keep us stuck and hold us back. We are often disconnected from our internal tools and resources that exist in our mind and body. Our lives are fast-paced and stressful and we often struggle with mental and physical disconnection. This opportunity will give you a chance to take time to sit with yourself in a space that is supportive so that you can learn to access and develop your inner resources.

I believe people are resilient and at any time can need support with life challenges. I see clients with a range of experiences that may be impacting their ability to currently flourish in their lives. In my work, I draw on my background in counselling, conflict resolution and mediation. It is always my goal to create a safe environment for clients to work through issues past or present that keep them from achieving a full quality of life and in having the relationships they are seeking. I work collaboratively with clients on what is important to them, helping people achieve inner stability and move forward in their lives.

Hello and Welcome! My offering to you is a warm, safe space in which to explore obstacles that may be holding you back. At the heart of my approach is authentic connection and supported exploration of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we will uncover the ways past wounding has left its mark and discover new, meaningful opportunities for healing and growth. I use a holistic and integrative approach in working with individuals and couples. "By meeting pain with a tender presence, we transform our wounds and losses into fierce grace". Tara Brach.

Are you struggling with your relationships, with inner or outer conflict and strong emotions, with difficulties in communication, with boundaries? Are you feeling dissatisfied with your current life, feeling stuck or blocked, feeling stressed, depressed, anxious? Are you wanting to explore and understand your family system, memories and early experiences that continue to affect you today? Are you wanting to build more capacity in parenting, creating a blended family or grandparenting?

Life is full of challenges, both normal and extraordinary, that can feel scary and overwhelming. Therapy can be a safe haven: a place to rest, recover, rediscover internal and external resources, make sense of our experience, examine patterns that keep us stuck, develop new skills, and set a new course. In feeling deeply accepted, we can face the challenge to grow in meaningful ways. I have a passion for co-creating environments where people can identify and remove the barriers that leave them disconnected from themselves and others, and move forward with greater calm, clarity, confidence, and connection.

I strongly believe that human beings are wired for connection, and that difficulties in relationships (and within people) are almost always the result of misconnection or disconnection. In my work as a therapist, I explore how communication and interaction between people can be improved in order to create or repair those connections. I am a relationship specialist who works with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I am a strong social justice advocate, and I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space in the therapy room.

Group walks in a forest with our stories. GROUPS AT LABARRIERE PARK AND BIRDS HILL PARK STARTING SEPTEMBER 19th AND INTO OCTOBER 2020!

Please see our website for a list of the groups.

Do you know a child or youth who is experiencing behavioural, emotional, or developmental challenges? If so, I can help! Traditional talk therapy can be intimidating, especially for young people. Using experiential approaches, I walk beside my clients as they recognize the power they hold to create wellness in their lives, experience growth, and reach their full potential. Allowing young people to be creative throughout the therapeutic process enables us to see the world through their eyes, which I believe is an essential part of assisting them overcome the challenges in their lives.

A safe and compassionate relationship interwoven with effective professional guidance are essential to developing new perspective and experiences, and ultimately well-being and thriving. I strive to create an optimal environment for growth by offering a balance of challenge, honesty, direct feedback, support, and humour. I will tailor treatment to your goals, personality, and needs, using a flexible approach and multiple evidence-based therapies and techniques. The therapeutic tools my clients receive, combined with the self-awareness and confidence they develop, provides them with the opportunity to reach their goals, as well as other unexpected personal benefits in the process.
